Hello,My 7th and 8th great grandfather are named Benjamin Williams, my ancestry.com account says my 8th great grandfather married Elizabeth Jennings. But my question is concerning Benjamin Sr.'s parents, when I first looked on ancestry, I came up with Samuel Thompson and Sarah Williams, but they were to young to be the parents. It also said Sarah Williams father was Roger Williams with no birth or death. I found Samuel on your page but the closest wife was Sarah Ann Edwards, which she never had a son named Ben. Lastly, I found a random marriage record identifying this Sarah Williams as a.k.a. Sarah Shepard, whom I come to find on your site. Benjamin Sr. also had a nickname, "Butts", I believe. I'm kind of lost, please help.

I am a folklorist who recently discovered the graves of 19 chain gang prisoners who drowned in the Tuckaseigee River near Dillsboro in 1882. The prisoners were buried in unmarked graves on a nearby hillside. I recently learned that one of the men was Moses Brown from Warren county. I am looking for descendants of Moses Brown who was on the Census for 1880, age 28, living in Six Pound. Can you help me?

I'm not sure what you think a Slave Schedule is, but they do not show slave names, nor the names of Plantations. If you've looked at the 1850 & 1860 Warren Co. Slave Schedules for the surname of ELLIS, you will notice there was just one Slaveowner by that name, SUMNER J. ELLIS. Once you know that name, that is where you start researching his family's records, including wills, deeds & estate records to find the names of their slaves for him and his parents or other previous relatives to follow the trail of what slaves were exchanged. Those are the records that slave names are located. One does NOT look for Slaves by only looking for Plantation names, since it was rare, if ever, that those were named in records. If you are new to researching and need some kind of guidance, please check out our "Research Help & Lookup Page", scroll down to RESEARCHING INFORMATION, and go to one of the sites that instructs on how to both "Getting Started with Family History", and "Beginners Guide to African American Research".

HI, I have been searching the web for plantations within Warren County that were owned and operated by an Ellis. I've found three names (Stephen, William & Obediah) but no location nor a slave schedule with names of slaves. Was there any record of a fire that could have eliminated these records or just a complete lost?

I am searching for the parents of Ann Wilson born 1798 in Warren Plains, Warren County NC. She married James Saintsing in October of 1830 in Warren County. She died in May of 1882 and is buried in Wake County. I was told by my grandmother that she was a full blooded Cherokee Indian. I'm not sure how accurate that is.

James' brother John Saintsing also married a Wilson (Susannah), not sure if there is any relation, her parents are unknown as well.

If anyone has any information they would be willing to share it would be greatly appreciated. I have hit a major brick wall.

To the person who inquired about Elizabeth M. Alston. Have you done a Search on the Warren County Website? There are additional records that gives you the answer to that. One of them is this:http://www.ncgenweb.us/ncwarren/wills/will-abs/wc-wb14-2.htm237. 23 Aug. 1808; Aug. Ct. 1808. JOHN MACLIN Gdn. to ELIZABETH ALSTON, orphan of JAMES ALSTON, dec'd. Bond for 1,000 Pds. to HENRY G. WILLIAMS, Ch. Co. Ct. to insure that he pay her part of debts of Est. of JAMES ALSTON, dec'd. from her share of Est. which has been delivered to him as her Guardian. Sec: KEMP PLUMMER & MDUKE JOHNSON.

Where can I find information about Eliza(beth) M. Alston,born April, 1808, who I believe was daugher of James Alston, deceased. John Maclin was appointed her guardian in Aug. 1808, in Warren County, NC.

Seeking information regarding the death of Abner Shearin, and his surviving children.

I have found through my research that he died in 1824 in Halifax County, and that he died without a will but that court documents from the county court of February of that year establish a connection between he and his son, Elijah Davis Shearin.

I am preparing an application to the Sons of the American Revolution, and this is the final link I must establish.

Any help would be great. Also his son John Thomas Jones served in the civil war and any info on his time servered would be helpful

I am from the Democratic Republic of Congo (Africa). Please excuse my bad English, as my ordinary language is French.

According to a Family Tree DNA's ADN test I might be related to an African American family whose members live in Norlina, Warren, North Carolina. I have done research in Ancestry.com and discovered that one of this African American family's ancestors is probably Willis Fields, born in 1857, in Virginia. His spouse was Lucinda (I don't know her surname), also born in Virginia, about 1862. They married in 1876. In 1900, they lived in Sassafras Fork, Granville, North Carolina. One of their sons, Edward, was born in 1892. Other sons were: Abbie, Sallie, James, Rose, Willie.

I have not found more information about Willis Fields. For example, I don't know his ancestors' names and origins.

I would like to write my family's history and try to integrate in it the history of members who could have been taken to America as slaves. One of the questions of this history is to know if these possible slaves from my family left Africa from one of the ancient Congo's Atlantic ports or from other African countries'Atlantic ports.

I would be very grateful if you could help me to establish Willis Fields' genealogy.

Hello, i am trying to find out if there are any of my husband,s family living in Warrenton. His great grandmother,s name was LUCY CARTER,she married Samuel Rivers, They had a daughter named AVA Rivers, she married Joe L. Thompsom they had a daughter named Catholine Thompsom.Iam trying to find some relitives from Lucy Carters side.As far as i know they all lived in Warrenton or Warren Co. Thank You.

Looking for information on Nancy or Meredith Lynch. She married RB Cates and his wife was Lucretia. I believe they may be brother and sister although their children did marry in 1880. Nancy was born about 1831 and Meredith was born about 1827. He and Lucretia had daughters, Mildred, Nannie Elizabeth, Mary and Ellen. The Warren County Marriage records show a marriage between Nannie Elizabeth and William Ansil Cates in 1870. That shows Meredith alive and Lucretia deceased. It shows Nancy alive and RB Cates deceased. There is a marriage in 1890 between WA Lynch and Lucy Moore showing his parents both deceased. I assume Meredith to be a middle name maybe but find no death record for him. I also don't know what WA stands for as his son but dont find he and Lucy Lynch anywhere after the marriage. I would appreciate any leads. Thanks

Hello George.Here is the entry from the Warren Co. Court Minutes, 1801-1805, but note there is very little other than this:

To the person who posted about their African American Marriage Records. Please note that Marriage Bonds were only used from 1779 - 1868, therefore a marriage taking place in 1877 wouldn't be in that database. There is another Marriage Database on the Warren Co. site that covers through 1900, and you will find your grandfather's marriage record included in those transcriptions.

My great grandfather, William Fleming and great grandmother, Louvenia Jones' marriage certificate was located in Warrenton at the register of deeds office, however, neither name was on the African American marriage listing on this website. They were married in 1877 in Nutbush Township, Warren County. How do I have their names added to your listing?

George Ray or Wray bought land in 1778 in Bute co NC which became Warren co NC in 1779.

I am trying to find where the land was located and can not find a detailed map that would show the creeks if they even still exist. The deed said Myrick's Mill Creek and Rogers Branch and mentions a Christipher Robertson who apparently lived in the area. Would anyone know where this land was located or where I could fin a map that would show the creeks? Thanks,Ross

Indiana Askew/Ayscue Macon was my gggrandmother. Her death certicate states she was born in 1822 but I believe she was born in 1842. In a 1894 petition for the sale of land by the grandchildren of Benjamin Askew, she is listed. Benjamin's will created in 1837, lends to his son, John D. Askew (Indiana's father) 150 acres of land. Upon John D's death the land is to be sold and distributed to Benj. grandchildren. Benjamin's will 1837 also makes provisions for his father, William Askew (who on the 1840 census is noted as receiving a pension due to service in the Revolutionary War; he served in NC State Militia.

I would like to find any information about William, Benjamin and John D Askew/Ayscue.

Would anyone know if there are any books about Warren co NC about the time of the American Revolution that might mention any military activity going on in Warren co NC and the attitude of the people living there at that time? My ancestor was George Wray (Ray) who left Brunswick co Va in 1778 and went to Bute co NC where he bought land in 1778. Bute co NC became warren co NC in 1779. Warren co NC was the county just south of Brunswick co Va. I can not find where George founght in the Revolutionary War although he was born probably in the 1740's possibly in Virginia but I am not sure. There was a Baker Wray or Ray that owned land that joined George's land. Would anyone know if there was a reason that people moved to Warren co NC about the time of the American Revolution? Was it an area where there was no fighting going on or maybe where Loyalists moved to? George had a wife and children and so did Baker Wray. I am sure many men with families back then left wehre they lived and moved to areas they thought there might not be as much fighting so maybe their families would be safer. Ross

A branch of my family in Daviess County, KY (Owensboro)had the Pegram surname. The only one I knew was Mrs. Joseph Duncan Pegram (nee Sallie Magruder). She was a great, old-fashioned lady; her husband, Joseph, died in 1935, so I never met him. I understood he had farmed in a place called "Brown's Valley" near Owensboro, Ky., & was also an itinerant photographer. There don't seem to be any more of that family in the area, and unfortunately, no one seems to have inquired as to their origins. I have always thought they probably came from N.Carolina, as many old families in that part of KY seem to have migrated from there in the earlier part of the 1800s, as did my own family, the Hunts. I am wondering if anyone knows the ancestry of Joseph Duncan Pegram, b.1862, Jefferson Co., KY. Married Sallie B. Magruder 1888 in KY; d. 24 Aug. 1935 in Daviess Co., KY.

I have always thought they probably came from N.Carolina, as many old families in that part of KY seem to have migrated from there in the earlier part of the 1800s, as did my own family, the Hunts. I am wondering if anyone knows the ancestry of Joseph Duncan Pegram, b.1862, Jefferson Co., KY. Married Sallie B. Magruder 1888 in KY; d. 24 Aug. 1935 in Daviess Co., KY.

A branch of my family in Daviess County, KY (Owensboro)had the Pegram surname. The only one I knew was Mrs. Joseph Duncan Pegram (nee Sallie Magruder). She was a great, old-fashioned lady; her husband, Joseph, died in 1935, so I never met him.

I am researching my Banks family to determine who was the father of Ranson P. Banks. Today I found in the N.C. birth index a H.P.M Banks whose father was Hickney Banks. Ransom P. Banks was born in North Carolina in 1783. The initial P. seems to be import to the Banks family as the initial goes from one generation to another. Ransom P. Banks left N.C. and died there in 1880 in Wolf Creek, Pickens, S.C. Hope soemone out there knows something about this. Regards Lelia Davis

I was adopted by Rev. Dr. George H. and Mollie J. Washington, Sr.I heard that the records are in Warren County of the adoption in October of 1962. My given name was McArthur Moore. I am trying to locate sibilings if some are in the area.

My Raleigh, N.C., land clerk Thomas Malone, Sr., was from Warren/Bute Cos., N.C. Pickin's Alabama Biorgraphy records Malone's circa 1801 journey from Raleigh, via Georgia Indian country, to Ft. St. Stephens/Wakefield/Mt. Vernon, Washington County, Alabama, with many other families and many slaves, some of whom were stolen by Indians. Most of these early Alabama slaves likely had pre-1800's North Carolina origins, likely from Warren and Bute Cos. Hope this helps! At St. Stephens, Malone was US Land Office agent, U.S. Magistrate, and asst. Indian agent. With Capt. Edmund Pendleton Gains, he helped arrest Aaron Burr and escort Burr to trial. Richmond, Virginia.

Find A Grave is a world wide genelogy project, and I would like to be able to load and photograph this church's grave sites. My greatgrandfather is buried there but there is no identification on his home made headstone. You will not find his name on your list of interments. His name was Elbert "Burton" Ham b. 1831 d. 07/16/1901. He served in the Civil War, was imprisioned two times, and lost his hand during combat. The veteran's administration will issue a headstone if, I have someone to receive it, and place it on his grave. I will be completing this task as soon as possible.Mostly, I just need to know I have permission to go out and photograph, list and post all interments.Thank You,Carolyn W. Hendley

In your ancestors of Gamaliel Earle page you speak about a William Earle and his family and sons. My family decends from Williams son Edward. I'm not sure that Williams son John Earle left Hampshire as I have him married to Mary Mary Berry in Winchester in 1733 (Bishops records). I have Williams will that names his sons and they match yours. I am able to link back to him through the wills of our line of Earles. Perhaps John married again and travelled to America. Has anyone else any information?

I am trying to find information on my Great- great- great- grandfather Issac Alston / Issac Powell. He was born around 1820 into slavery and died around 1900. His family name was Alston and his family were descendants of Cherokee Indians.A Norman Powell of Warren County North Carolina became the slave owner of Issac Powell and his family, where he gained the Powell name. Issac Powell married Cheney Burton (1840-?), Sarah Thorpe (1870-?) and Sarah (?), (1893-?).

I am seeking any information on John Waller Tucker and Robert Huddleston. John Tucker's daughter Ritten married Robert Huddleston in October of 1779. Robert Huddleston may have been sheriff of Warren County, I am not sure of the dates, but perhaps in the late 1700's or early 1800's.

I'm searching for the parents of Isaac Short born 1790. I'm not sure where he was born. Isaac married Mary Polly Overby in Sumner Co TN in 1813. Mary Polly was born in VA.

I must share my progress hoping it rings a bell with someone. I have learned that my Short family in Sumner Co TN had ties to the MILAM, BARNARD and ABBOTT families. All can be found in NC in the late 1700 and early 1800s. A recent finding shows that on May Ct. 1792. JOHN SHORT, a 11 yr. old orphan of MARTIN SHORT, dec'd., was bound to John Milam; to be taught business of a planter. John Milam's wife was Elizabeth Short, they married in 1782. Elizabeth's sister Rebecca Short married Drury Milam in 1789. Drury and Rebecca later went on to TN but I don't know when. Jenny Short married Adam Milam in Sumner Co TN in 1805.

Because of the relocation to TN I think the orphan John Short may have been my Isaac Short's brother. John was 11 years old in 1792. Isaac would have been 2 years old in 1792. Someone mentioned that the term *orphan* didn't always mean *without a mother* so I believe Isaac and his mother may have gone to TN with Rebecca and Drury Milam. It's also possible Rebecca and Drury took him in and raised him if his mother was truly deceased.

So what is the relationship of Rebecca, Elizabeth and Jenny to John (and perhaps my Isaac Short)? They may be brother/sister but could also be Aunt/nephew. Otherwords, what is the connection of orphan John's father MARTIN SHORT to Rebecca, Elizabeth and Jenny.

Concerning the deceased MARTIN SHORT, many have said my Isaac Short's middle initial *M* stands for MARTIN but I know for a fact he had a son named Isaac MARTIN Short. As a kid I mowed around his tombstone in the Short Cemetary in Sumner Co TN.

My request goes out to anyone who can elaborate of these familys and elaborate on this information. The key concern is when did the Milams go to TN? Was his mother alive at that time? Who was MARTIN SHORT and where did he come from? And of course, did he have sons John and Isaac? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you...

I am searching for information on the African-American Allen's and Boyd's of Warrenton,North Carolina. My Great-Grandfather Joseph Allen was born in Warrenton North Carolina July 1885 to Alice Allen. I don't know if Allen was her birth name or married name. Alice later had a daughter Georgia Allen who was born in 1891 in Warrenton. Some time I am guessing in around 1885 she had a son Charles Allen who was born in Virginia in 1896. In the 1910 census Alice was married to William Boyd and living in Norfolk, Virginia. In the 1920 census Alice and William were back in Warrenton and Virginia my dad's cousin born in 1913 was living with them. I believe William died in 1933 in Warrenton.

I am a descendent of Joseph Dorris Rooker who was often in Warren with his father the Rev. John Rooker. Something had them going between York SC and Warren so I suppose it was other family members.

I am one of the few left that remembered enough names to find the Rev. solid. after that I am less sure of connections in my tree.Is there a way to check local church records from online yet? They are not on the Warren bonds but I dont know if a calvanist would be anyway during that time.

I am researching my family tree for an upcoming family reunion. I have some family history that is dated back to 1800's.

Her name was Roberta. Roberta married Henry Plummer.

I believe there is a real chance that John Burk may be my long lost ancestor. My 3rd great grandfather Newton Jasper Burk was a Mason. His father Samuel Burks was born 1799 in Rowan Co. NC. and was in Smith/Warren Co.in 1820 which later became Cannon Co., TN. His first son was named John and it is a name passed to every generation in our Burk family.

Do you have any idea where I could get a copy of the notes you referred to in your article ". We do have meeting notes of the Lodge before 1774 and after 1784 that were uncovered in a storeroom of the Old Bute County courthouse at Warrenton, N.C. in 1908".

This could be a major find for us, as I believe it is not uncommon for Masons sons and grandsons that were also Masons. Your article was excellent, thank you for sharing it.

My ancestor, Isham Drury Bobbitt, was born in Warren County, N.C. in 1754. According to his Revolutionary War Service Record,Isham entered the service on 1 Feb 1780 and served under the command of a "Captain Christman." They marched to Halifax where Colonel Allen took command of the regiment.

I am trying to determine the full name of Captain Christman and whether or not there is a connection between the Bobbitt and Christman familes as noted in "The Bobbitt Family in America" by John W.

I am particularly interested in knowing if this Fowler was the father of a Nathan Fowler who in 1785 settled in Wilkes Co., GA along with a number of other former residents of Bute/Warren County, including several of my Jones ancestors. Any information will be appreciated.

I need any information on Anthony King whose only child that I know of was Fanny King who married William Richard Riggons and the only child that I know of was Parthenia Riggons who married Anderson Sturdivant. The latter moved to Henry County Tennessee and I have the Sturdivant Family history to Tennessee and Mecklenburg County Virginia.

I need any information on Fanny King who married William Richard Riggons/Riggens. The only child I have is Parthenia Riggons (8/20/1794-9/11/1864) who married Anderson Sturdivant (8/14/1794-11/5/1873). They moved to Henry County Tennessee about 1830.

I have reaseached both family lines in my family. I am still
looking for information on James "Virgil" Gardner. He
was born in 1899 in Macon,NC/Sixpound township.
He is listed in his grandfathers household-Richard
Gardner/Lucy Gardner. Virgil moved to Va. and that
is where he died. I need any information I can get on
my grandfather. Thank you. Thanks for this site.

I am looking for the burial place of Elizabeth Fletcher (maiden name unknown to me right now), w/o John Fletcher who married 2nd Candis G Smith.

Thank you in advance,
Elizabeth Butcher
great-great-granddaughter of John and Candis Fletcher

John W. Powell was born abt. 1816 in North Carolina. I have no names for his parents or siblings. Past research leads me to Warren County, NC. He settled in eastern KY and married Thursa Hatcher in Prestonsburg (Floyd Co.) KY in 1843. Do you have any information on John W. Powell?
Thanks

Question? In the will of Gideon H. Macon (wb15 p 6-14 Warren Co. NC 1809) it shows that his “present wifeö is Mary Hartwell Macon and she had 8 children by him. My records show that he married a Mary Green the daughter of William Green and Mary Elizabeth Christmas. The will leaves property to William Macon the grandson of William Green in Green Co. GA. Does anyone know of the marriage to a Mary Hartwell by Gideon Hunt Macon after 1784?

I am desperately searching for the parents of William Myrick, who was born abt. 1843 in Warren Co., Georgia. He is listed as a mulatto on the 1880 census in Ga. His father's name may have been Joseph and he was white. Could he have been in Warren Co., NC?
